"We are now hearing a great deal about 'return hubs' - a concept that was, until recently, considered legally and practically off-limits and that is now sold as a 'quick fix. While states look for 'innovative solutions', they must not create human rights black holes." www.coe.int/en/web/commi...

"The policy in Europe to “smash the gangs” is aimed at business model of smugglers, but “what we see that’s primarily doing is boosting the model of smugglers – the more difficult you make it, the more profitable the business will become,”  @bramfrouws.bsky.social      f.mtr.cool/xknkpjkrpd
